David Platt... Jesus is...

So...it has been way too long. We have had a few crazy months....and finding balance has been difficult at times. Eli has finally recovered from getting his tonsils out...and although his voice has changed....we are grateful that we have doctors that can do such things when needed. It is not a fun experience to watch your little boy be wheeled off to surgery or handed back to you shaking and crying....but it reminded me of how God takes care of our every need and holds onto us when we don't know what has happened. Grace....I can't imagine life without it. I can't imagine this life without the cross. It would make no sense.
I constantly remind myself that all the stuff we try to accomplish really means nothing next to knowing Jesus...what I forget is how often we make Him so small...by trying to do things our own way and asking for advice from others rather than sitting at the feet of the One who has given us breath.
It doesn't make sense that He would have cared enough about me to go through what He did on the Cross....especially because I don't live in total desperation of Him. I am grateful though that He uses the flawed....that He calls us to Himself and that it has nothing to do with anything I have done. I am so thankful this day for His grace...Oh, what a beautiful name....Jesus....
I came across this video that reminded me of His truth. He does not need me. I desperately need Him.
I hope you have all had a beautiful Easter celebrating the One who gave it all!
